BBC report is pretty damning
"Same old story for Brighton this season. They are a completely different side under Graham Potter than they were under Chris Hughton despite having most of the same players - demonstrated by Hughton's old favourite Shane Duffy being left on the bench.
But they struggle in front of goal. They had so much of the ball but Neal Maupay's ninth-minute effort, where he tried to beat Martin Dubravka at his near post, and Yves Bissouma's low drive in the 86th minute were the only saves the Newcastle keeper had to make.
Premier League debutant Steven Alzate was bright up front and Irish youngster Connolly was lively when he came on. The substitute was so unlucky to see his shot acrobatically cleared away by Schar millimetres away from crossing the line.
But it was all style and little substance and they were hanging on at the end. A better team than Newcastle would have put them away.
The football was attractive - all three centre-backs were involved in moves all over the pitch - but the fact remains that they have won once in the league, the same as Newcastle."
